CASE NO. C17-1771JLR
ORDER EXTENDING THE STAY

GENE BOUMA, et al.,

14

Defendants.

15
On September 12, 2018, the court entered an order staying this action until
16
January 9, 2019. (9/12/18 Order (Dkt. # 65).) At the end of the day on December 21,
17
2018, the appropriations act that had been funding the United States Department of
18
Justice (“DOJ”) lapsed. (See Mot. (Dkt. # 66) at 1.) On January 2, 2019, the court
19
entered an order extending the stay for a period “commensurate with the duration of the
20
lapse in appropriations for [DOJ].” (1/2/19 Order (Dkt. # 67) at 1.) On the evening of
21
January 25, 2019, President Donald Trump signed into law House Joint Resolution 28,
22

ORDER - 1

1

the “Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019,” which provides

2

appropriations for DOJ through February 15, 2019. (See Not. (Dkt. # 68) at 1.) Thus,

3

DOJ’s lapse in appropriations lasted 35 days. (See id. at 2.) Accordingly, the court

4

extends the stay that was previously set to expire on January 6, 2019, until February 13,

5

2019, which is a 35-day period “commensurate with the duration of the lapse in

6

appropriations.” (See 1/2/19 Order at 1.)

Dated this 31st day of January, 2019.
